. swan-CHANGE GEAR.

Be a known that I, GEORGE o. LEoroLn, a

citizen of the United States, residing in is .a side view, artly in section,- of'suflicient of-a breast dr Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements Speed: Change ear, of which the following is a specification'.

The object of my invention is vto construct- .asimple and'readily adjustable speed changegefar for use particularly in connectionwith n and or power operated tools.

Inythe accompanying: drawing; Figure 1 to illustrate my invention; Fig. 2, is aside'vie'w-ofa portion of the drill;

Fig. 3 ,'is a sectional view on .the-line 33,

Fig; 4; Fig. 4, is a sectional view on the line 44, Fig. 3; Fig. '5, isa sectional vie'won the line 5-.5, Fi 1 showing the hubs of the two bevel-whee s; and Fig. 6, is a detail view showing the two pins and the'shiiting means. l v y Inthe drawing I have shown the invention as applied to a handbreast drillor screw driyer in [which there are two changes of "-A .is the frame of a breast drill having a stud a on which-is mounted the small bevel "ge ar wheel B; on the hub of this wheel, in

' instance; the .bevel gear i 'is a series of holes 0;

- mechanism for locking either one oft D are two pins --the.present instance, is mounted'the bevel andle. D fiheld. in place by a screw 0. and washer a; Q

E. is a sleeve connected'to the stem F and has twobevel gears e and e in the present w'eel e meshin with the teeth I) ofthe gear e meshin with the teeth a of the ear G,a s 'clearly'in my yention. as the invention relates solelg to the e gears G and B with the handle .D or other'driving part. In the hub of the ear wheel B is a series of holes I) and in the 'ub of the gear wheel 0 the holes of each series being a given distance stud a.

Mounted in cavities in the handle section ring h and back of the pin i is a spring i;

gear-wheel C and on the end of the stud a is a' B and gear whee g 'cated in Fig. 1 It will e understoodthat these gears may bemodlfied confrom the center oi'the h and i notched at h and'i', respectively, as shown in Fig. 6, and back of Patented Dec. 15, 1908.

theseipins and allow the other to project into I one of the holes in the gears, I provide an operating'spindle N recessed at aforming'a cam-which releases onepin when in one position and retains the other pin in its withdrawn position, as shown in Fig. 51'; and when turned 1n the opposite direction it will withdraw the first mentioned pin andrelease the other'pin. r a

On the operating spindle is an enlar ement n which forms a sto to limit t e movement of the spindle in either direction, the sto coming in contact with the flange d of the andle section D. Inthe present instance the spindle has a knurled handhold n at one end and is held in position by a screw 11 and washer n at the opposite end, as shown in Fig. 3.; Y y I The operation is as followszlf, -for inance, it is desired to turn the drill stem-at as to re ease the pin '11 and withdraw the pin h, and the pin as the handle turns will be forcedinto the first hole 0 of the gear wheel G by the spring i lockin the handle firmly to the sear wheelO whic meshes with the gear 6'- 01 high speed. lf'it is'desired to drive the stem at .low speedthen the spindle N is reversed, withdrawin' the pint and allowing the pin it, to .be force into one of the holes I) inthe gear-wheel B which meshes with the gear a of the sleeve E as shown in Fig. 4.

the sleeve E, driving the stem F at This construction makes a very compact and simple device for changing the s eed particul rly'of a hand operated tool,-suc as a breast drill and other tools of this type,

although it can be used for any purpose where it is desired to connect one moving art with other moving parts; these parts Being either the. driven or the driving means. I claim: j 1. The combination of two "hubs one mounted outside theother and each having a hole or holes therein, a. thirdhub extending overthe ends of the two, hubs, two pins carried by said third hub andres ectively capable of entering said-holes, wit means for withdrawing either pin and allo win the othernpin to'be projected into one o the holes. I H 2. The combination of a stud, a hub mounted on the stud. and asecond hub mounted on the first mentioned hub, each hub having a hole therein, a'driving member withdrawing the other also mounted on the stud, two pins carried recessed to form a cam for withdrawing one by said driving member, and means for proectmg one pin nto a hole in one hub and the other hub.

3. The combination ota stud, two hubs one mounted on the stud and the other mounted on the first'mentioned hub, each hub having a hole therein, a driving member also mounted on the stud and having two cavities one alining with the hole in the one driving member also mounted on the stud,

two pins carried by the driving member, one

pin adapted to enter the hole in one hub and theother in adapted to enter the hole in the other hu a transverse operating spindle pin from the hole inpinand allowing the other to be projected, and a stop on the spindle to limitthe movement thereof. I .5. The combination of a frame having a stud, a bevel gear wheel mounted on the stud and having-a hub with a series of holes there- -in, a second gear wheel mounted onthe hub of the first mentioned gear wheel and having a series of holes in its hub, a spindle, pinions thereon meshing with both of said' -gear wheels, a driving handle -mounted (mule stud and having two c'avities thereim'ai pin in each cavity, one pinalining with the holes in-one hub-and the other pin alining' with the holes in the other hub, and an oper ating spindle, whereby one pin is withdrawn and the other pin allowed to be projected so as to enter a hole in one of the hubs.

ln testilnony-whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, inthe presence of two subscribing tnesses.
